www.fortune.com/joinus9

Not very happy that they automatically auto-renew your subscription- though 30 Euro for 3 years, is remarkable.
Thankfully, Fortune is a good deal more readable than the tat in Time Magazine.

Dman001 · 11-01-2014 3:43pm

Any digital access with the subscription, i.e iPad App access??

snubbleste · 11-01-2014 3:49pm

50c per issue until 2017..
What's the 'executive watch' like..any link to an image?

As this is a three year subscription, most credit cards will have expired and been replaced by the time the auto-renew comes around; so, they will have to get the new card details to auto-renew.

So how do you actually cancel the subscription, can you not cancel the automatic renew now?

The offer is not available through the fortune.com site

Student2014 · 11-01-2014 6:08pm

I placed this order but got no email confirmation as of yet.

BlackWizard · 11-01-2014 6:14pm

I ordered too. No email either.

Its issued twice monthly so ~ 60 issues for 3 yrs.

evostik · 11-01-2014 6:49pm

Fortune is bi-weekly - it's 20 issues per annum

Watch images attached - it's actually a decent watch. Leather strap might not last too long however.

The one on the box looks better than the one on the guys hand

Great find. Always on the look out for bargain magazine subscriptions as they're so expensive here normally, compared to the US for example.

Anyone know of any good bargains out there for Time or the Economist or other decent mags?

Cheers!

Pique · 12-01-2014 12:36am

Ironic that a magazine called 'Fortune' which yearly has the list of the richest people in the world, shows up in a bargain alerts thread.

Same here, and the second I placed the order I started worrying whether it was a phishing scam. No "Verified by Visa" or other security checks, though it was https, and the whois seems to check out OK. Will be keeping an eye on my credit card for the next while until a magazine appears.

Thoie · 12-01-2014 1:33am

I wonder if they have different watches for male and female "executives"?

SitUbuSit · 12-01-2014 2:53am

I got my confirmation email. Check your spam folders if you haven't received it. Mine took about 2 hours to come through...

Linoge · 12-01-2014 4:06am

Excellent find OP!

They are gonna be delivered in double issues. Still hard to see how they are even covering the cost of postage for these!?

Probably posted by container ship?

I read an article in the paper yesterday which said it was cheaper to send a certain fish that is caught in Scotland to China to be filleted and back to Scotland to be sold, than to hire people in Scotland to do it.

Tidyweb · 12-01-2014 10:49am

I just hate the idea of automatic renewal at a price you dont know.
They should really contact you before renewal

As Bill Gates said when he was "buying out" Homer Simpson , "I didn't get this rich by writing cheques!"

It does look weird. If you go to the www.fortune.com homepage and follow the link for subscriptions at the bottom of the page, you get a completely different offer at a much higher price with a gift of an Encyclopaedia Britannica DVD. Same if you go to the homepage of the domain the OP's link redirects to (www.timeinc.com) and follow the subscription page links.

Still, if you're paying by credit card, you can't go too far wrong. You can always get your card provider to charge back the transaction if doesn't turn out to be kosher.

dman15333 · 12-01-2014 11:36am

Did anyone else get a confirmation email.I placed the order at 11pm yesterday and still haven't got the email, and the card hasn't been charged.

They get far more in advertising revenue- than it costs to publish and ship the magazine. Having a larger distribution list simply means they can charge the advertisers even more. When you get your first copy- you'll get a bit of a surprise at just how much advertising is in it. Thats how its funded. Your 30 Euro is simply the icing on the cake for them.

Where did you get that they're going to be delivered in double issues? It mentions that that it publishes 2 double issues (each counting as 2 in the annual subscription of 20) but I don't find anywhere about each issue not being delivered separately?

Yep, you're right. I read it wrong

Student2014 · 13-01-2014 9:12am

I ordered Saturday got 2 confirmation emails this morning at 4am and 7am. Hope they haven`t given me a double order.

I got the same at 4am and 7am and I only placed 1 order.

Thoie · 13-01-2014 10:19am

Same here - the first said the subscription would start late Feb, and the second was an altered version that said it would start early Feb. I read the second mail as a correction to the first.

I think they are delivered in double issues and they are the 2 delivery dates.

They say that they do contact you before charging your card:

Preferred Subscriber Automatic Renewal Program:
Credit card subscribers, we will continue to renew your FORTUNE subscription at the low subscriber rate, without interruption, unless you tell us to stop. At the end of your initial term and then before the start of each new term, we'll simply charge your credit card in time to lock in the savings then in effect. We'll send you a reminder, with a number to call if you wish to cancel, before we charge your card. You may cancel at any time during your subscription and receive a full refund on all unmailed issues. If your credit card is inactive, we'll bill you directly instead.

Kemar · 14-01-2014 8:36am

Fantastic deal, there can be some great content in that mag ....thanks to OP!:)

bradlente · 15-01-2014 9:45am

Nice find op.Not bad for 50c a mag even if it's a piece of tat.

jameshayes · 15-01-2014 9:52am

For anyone worrying about the auto renew - I wouldn't - the vast majority of cards will have expired by then so the numbers will be useless

g0g · 15-01-2014 10:19am

Did anyone else never get a confirmation email? I registered on Sat or Sun but haven't heard anything since. Have checked gmail spam folder too!

TheDriver · 15-01-2014 10:23am

I see TIME has a 1 year offer with the auto renew so its crowds like TIME will catch people who still have cards in date.

sector_000 · 15-01-2014 9:34pm

Nice one OP

Signed up for the 3 year.

Zascar · 17-01-2014 10:13am

Thanks op, ordered. I'm not too familiar with Fortune but I read Forbes, Time and sometimes other so definitely worth €30 on this. Can anyone enlighten us to what the magazine is like in genera?
